Archon was a blast. I drank lots, but not enough to make myself ill. I danced to lots of really awful music and a little bit of good music. I wore a skirt on Saturday that prompted people to ask me which anime character I was dressed as. I talked to lots of people I've never talked to before. The seminar went beautifully, particularly given ( Read more... )

I'm still debating on that dress from yesterday. I may drive over to The Time in Maplewood, where I hear they may have it to try on. Here's to hoping they'll be open on a Sunday. Silly places not having an internet presence; how am I supposed to get information if it's not online?

jerad_w's small birthday celebration last night was much of the fun. ( Read more... )

I got all gussied up in my Trinidy and some platforms last night. Convinced the boy he should come out with me. Met up with a bunch of peoples (a new friend, even!). Got my dance on with some old skool folks. Watched all the cool kids in the fancy dress. Enjoyed myself a great deal. Am excited about hitting the Stromkern/Rapture event this ( Read more... )

I got up early and hit the TGP Market, which was awesome. Then I went knitting, which was strange. Afterwards, the boy and I hit up REI for their sale, Borders to get a couple travel guides and a phrase book, and Whole Foods to get some dinner. We watched Code 46, which was pretty good--a bit of Blade Runner, Brave New World, and Gattaca. Gotta ( Read more... )

Last night we had a couple friends over for sushi and Japanese lessons. The sushi went well, even if I did make WAY too much rice. The Japanese lessons suffered from too many margaritas, but I believe fun was had anyhoo. I went to bed; they went on to party elsewhere ( Read more... )

Volunteering yesterday was boring. The same vacant building burned twice (!!), though we only went once. We ate Bread Co. (aka Panera, for those of you outside of Da Lou). We watched Just Like Heaven (really, it makes me sad when my favourite songs from junior high get covered badly). The boring-ness of the evening was good, as we were all ( Read more... )

24/7 was the bomb. Well, ok, there were two mini-plays that were awesome, one that might have been funny had I been on the inside of the joke, and some that were not so good. But those two were SO.GOOD it hurt. Howard (my personal nemesis) even made an appearance, which was the awesome. And the_cyr got paired to write with The Sexican, which only has ( Read more... )

We went camping this weekend with lacking_pulse, jerad_w, W, and J. It was mostly a bunch of fun. We spent like an hour in the grocery store Friday night running around looking for food and liquor since we didn't really make a list, much to lacking_pulse's chagrin. By the time we got to the property (aka ZombieCon land), it was dark. Good thing there's a cabin for us to stay ( Read more... )

Friday night kalibhajan, littlebaron and I hit up Venus Envy at the dead mall downtown. The crowds seemed considerably thinner this year, but that could be due to the four levels of emptiness they had to fill up. There was lots of art--some good, some bad, some just wacky. A political burlesque show. More bellydance troupes than I thought St Louis could possibly ( Read more... )
